Eddyline Brewery New Zealand's Hop Project #4 is a captivating IPA that takes you on a flavorful journey. This limited-release, double dry-hopped Hazy IPA showcases the vibrant and alluring characteristics of New Zealand hops. Pouring a golden-orange hue with a hazy, opaque appearance, this IPA forms a thick, white head that delicately laces the glass as you sip. The aroma is intensely aromatic, bursting with a medley of tropical and citrusy notes, including pineapple, mango, grapefruit, and orange peel. On the palate, Hop Project #4 is juicy and flavorful, with an initial wave of tropical fruits that is beautifully balanced by a subtle bitterness, providing structure. Notes of passion fruit, lychee, and stone fruits linger on the finish, leaving a lasting impression. With a medium-bodied, velvety texture, the high level of dry-hopping adds a soft, resinous character, creating a well-crafted, aromatic Hazy IPA that showcases the exceptional quality of New Zealand hops. This tropical fruit explosion and smooth, juicy texture make Hop Project #4 a highly enjoyable and satisfying beer.
